My wife's apple has OSX 10.5 installed but does not have the intel chip in it. I down loaded firefox 4 into her computer and her platform can not support firefox 4. How can I go back to the version (I think it was 3. something) to get her back on Firefox. Hep me if you can.

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

That's right, though Firefox 8.0 is newer and would have the same requirements.

To go back to 3.6.*

For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox, find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install.

For the latest of version 3
Note Mac OS X 10.4 user, and Mac OS X 10.5 users without Intel cannot upgrade to Firefox 4 or higher.

When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).

Maybe you were looking for this (I think I would stick to 3.6.* on such a machine) No idea if they have anything for later than version 4.

You can run an unofficial version of Firefox though, see
